  • Lighting: Pre-lit with LED lights
  • Perfect for: Bedrooms, offices, small apartments, secondary trees

How to Choose the Right Size

Measure Your Space

Ceiling Height Rule: Leave at least 6-12 inches between the tree topper and ceiling. For an 8-foot ceiling, choose a 6-7 foot tree. For 10+ foot ceilings, the 9-foot tree creates dramatic impact.

Floor Space: Measure your available floor diameter. The 7ft tree needs only 36 inches (3 feet) of floor space, making it perfect for apartments.

Budget Considerations

  • Under $100: 7ft Fiber Optic Tree ($66) - Best value with premium features
  • $200-250: 9ft Realistic Tree ($219) - Investment piece for grand displays

Fiber Optic vs. Traditional Pre-Lit: What's the Difference?

Feature Fiber Optic (7ft Model) Traditional Pre-Lit
Light Effects Color-changing, automatic transitions Single color, static
Setup Plug and play - instant light show May need to check individual bulb strands
Energy Use Low (LED technology) Higher (if incandescent)
Maintenance Minimal - built-in lights Replace burnt bulbs as needed
Visual Impact Dynamic, mesmerizing glow Classic, traditional look

Why Buy Artificial vs. Real Trees?

Artificial Tree Advantages

  • No mess: No needles to vacuum, no watering required
  • Convenience: Set up in minutes, store compactly after the holidays
  • Eco-friendly: Reusable year after year reduces environmental impact

Assembly & Care Tips

First-Time Setup

  1. Fluff the branches: Spend 15-20 minutes shaping each branch tip outward for maximum fullness
  2. Work from bottom to top: Start with lower branches and work your way up
  3. Vary the angles: Bend branches at different angles for a natural, organic look
  4. Step back frequently: Check for gaps and adjust as needed

Storage Tips

  • Store in original box or tree storage bag
  • Keep in cool, dry location (basement, garage, closet)
  • Avoid extreme temperatures that can damage PVC
  • Gently fold branches inward before storing
